Sense 2.5 contacts tab question

[coppertop24]

i am currently running Mighty's WAR ROM ver 20100202 and am loving the speed and smoothness with one exception. The contacts tab. I do not like the jerkiness exhibited when i scroll. I noticed that manila unloads the images not displayed causing a stutter while manila reloads the images. My question is this, is there a way to prevent manila from unloading these images while using the contacts tab? I know this may create a hit on memory, but if it improves the smoothness of the tab I will deal with it. Hoping for some info from the more experienced manila guys!
